22 Then God remembered Rachel; he listened to her and enabled her to conceive.
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
22 Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.
22 And then God remembered Rachel. God listened to her and opened her womb.
22 Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.
22 Then God remembered Rachel's plight and answered her prayers by enabling her to have children.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 30:22
Commentary on Genesis 30:14-24
(Read Genesis 30:14-24)
The desire, good in itself, but often too great and irregular, of being the mother of the promised Seed, with the honour of having many children, and the reproach of being barren, were causes of this unbecoming contest between the sisters. The truth appears to be, that they were influenced by the promises of God to Abraham; whose posterity were promised the richest blessings, and from whom the Messiah was to descend.
